The fish are in wonderful condition.

The few rules we've got help to keep it that way. Our regular anglers set their own high standards so we don't need many.

No nuts.
3 rods max.
No braided mainline except on markers or spods.
No leadcore.
No curved longshank hooks.
No baitboats.
Ask questions if you're not sure.

The carp have soft mouths. They're fit and heavy.
Forget barbless unless you've got a really good reason. Barbed hooks lose less fish and do less damage. Small hooks make for hook pulls.
Soft action rods lose a lot less fish than beachcasting billiard cues. 3lb TC is ample.
